The Joy of Youth

[Johnny Harwood]

Youth Ministry…… what can I say…. Youth is a very challenging ministry. But man, is it a blessing! Just to know that you are affecting the lives of the future generation.

I had a rough youth age myself. Even being brought up in the church I did alot of things I regret and alot of things that not only hurt my family and friends, but the reputation of Christ. Because of the things I have gone through and seen in my youth, it has given me a passion for our youth now!

Being a youth in our day and age is not like it was when I was a youth. There is more peer pressure, more access to sin through TV, Internet, smart phones, Etc., more messages and movements about things that are not biblical like abortion, homosexuality and of the sort. It is a huge challenge showing the youth why we should take a stand no matter what the world says about them.

I want to encourage those that have a passion for the youth and want to get involved in youth. It is a challenge because of everything the youth go through, and seeing what they have to go through now, but its such a joy and such a blessing!

If you know that God has called you to get involved in Youth ministry I say go for it! Let me know if you need anything or have questions. Im here for you all!
